October 28, 1918 Dr. G.M. Corput of the United States Public Health Service ordered restaurant workers to remove their masks at once and never wear them again. In his statement, the doctor exclaimed,
Influenza masks are harmful to the wearers. They prevent the free breathing of fresh air, which is essential at this time and they do not keep out germs because the wearers are continually breathing impure air.
